I can’t count how many times I’ve heard someone near me say something about how minority groups in the UK are just going around stabbing each other or shooting up drugs, and also immigrants are stabbing everyone and doing all the drugs, and also the teenagers are getting wasted every night… Etc…

Like… What possible news source could you be basing this off? I’ll admit I don’t keep up with global news like I could, but it seems pretty stab-free in the UK and that’s why it’s such a big deal when it does happen.

Also just this past month I’ve heard someone talk shit about gun control because of a shooting in a relatively gun-free country “look how that helped them”… Uhhhhhh yeah let’s just ignore all the mass shootings in our own backyard that don’t even make news anymore because it’s so frequent.

Reality means nothing to these people, only what they(re told to) feel at that particular moment.
